Hull Collaborative Academy Trust (HCAT) is a family of schools in and around Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire as well as North Yorkshire.

We are a Teaching Academy and an Accredited Sponsor, we work with a number of partners to provide the highest quality education for all children within our schools and children in schools we support.

The focus of HCAT is our children and we strive to ensure that every child within the Trust receives outstanding teaching and learning opportunities through collaboration and school improvement.
